A: You missed a registry key. Download a free tool like "RegScanner" and search for every instance of "CrazyBump" and delete them all manually. Then reinstall.

If you are learning, use Materialize (free). If you are a pro, use Substance Sampler . If you are nostalgic and have time to kill, reset the CrazyBump trial. But you are better off investing that time in learning the modern tools that won't require a monthly registry hack. Conclusion: Reset or Replace? The search for "CrazyBump trial reset" shows the enduring love for a simple tool. It is a testament to user interface design that a decade-old program is still being hunted for.
